A friend left her partner and said, “Adios” and she thanked me for introducing her to clarity. Clarity wasn’t my unique idea, folks – just sayin’. If you Google clarity you will find that there are organizations, movements, conferences, books and lectures all elucidating clarity. The fact that it is a simple concept – seeing things as they are – instead of how you would like them to be – is the big joke. At…
I went to a dream work class last night and felt as if I had been dropped in another world – a world of youth where the closest and most intimate relationships are still those with parents. I felt so removed from the consciousness of the crowd that I came home quietly and after putting Tin to bed, I soon crawled into my own with my quiet thoughts, just hoping to get lost in my…
I sat down with a friend of mine who has run her own company for years and last year decided to quit and be a mom. Wow, I say with envy. There is just not enough world and time for what I want to do in a day and being a mom is nearly 24/7. And so everything is suffering. The dog, Heidi, who is staying with us for a bit, is not getting her…
I lived on this block on the bayou and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Alopecia Universalis. Months later my neighbor developed stage four ovarian cancer. Then someone else a year later was diagnosed with breast cancer. Then today I just found out my other neighbor has developed Parkinson’s. My friend and neighbor with ovarian cancer says it’s odd that all of us on this same block have been stricken with a serious illness. She wonders…
A few months ago a black swan in City Park, who was waiting on her babies to hatch, was attacked and her eggs smashed by a human hand. You might ask who is capable of such utter vileness – well, humans. This human did not damage the swan or her eggs because they were hungry and wanted to eat them, or because the human was threatened by the swan or her eggs. No, the vandal…
Heidi went to live with Tatjana when we moved away from the LaLa but she never really left my heart. Shepherds are a dog apart from other breeds. They exist to remind us that we are sentient beings with a soul because their eyes reveal theirs so clearly. These German Shepherds bond so tightly with their human comrades that they don’t recognize they are a different species – we are one in their mind. Heidi…
Thoughts of the week: I woke this morning with a clear vision that you meet people where they are at, and sometimes where they are at, is not where it’s at. Enough said. Proceed with love.
Tin has rhythm, no doubt about it. He has been fooling around with music since the day he could move his body on his own. And he loves to draw and I’ve seen those drawings go from trying to draw a straight line to squiggles to trains and planes and automobiles. He’s also a master builder and has taken his blocks and created the Superdome and he’s even created a space landing station that was…
Tomorrow morning someone dear to me is having surgery. My prayers tonight are simply: this chapter ends with that being the story – a dear friend of mine had surgery, and we all went on with our wonderful lives.
